Backwoods Bastard (2017)

Scotch Ale / Wee Heavy

Expect lovely, warm smells of single malt scotch, oaky bourbon barrels, smoke, sweet caramel and roasted malts, a bit of earthy spice and a scintilla of dark fruit. It’s a kick-back sipper made to excite the palate.

Efter 6 years still very detailed in the lot of tastes that it contains. Also some of the barrel taste is present.

OG score stands. Last of this beer, which I at one time had a couple of cases of (varying vintages). 🫡 It used to be a favorite, but Founders fell off my radar years ago. #cellarclearing

Lci. God osteledsager. Dyb karamelsødme, og en markant fornemmelse af bourbonfad. Åbner sig stille og roligt op, når temperaturen stiger.
